Grabbed few trades today. Missed again one good signal. Short trade i took cause i saw buyers getting trapped. Chart did not print any wicks just and engulfing candle that printed Nova signal. It was entry for me. {image}{image}
Yessirrrr much better today for you

I've been working on something so I've been a bit focussed on that but I'll start posting Nova trades tomorrow as well.

I like seeing how everyone trades with it... it's very interesting.

How do you guys catch almost every wave correctly? Like surfing a wave. When i try to do it "just mechanically" i got this results: {image}
S&P 500 looks a total mess LOL

You need to wait for the background to change colour in your favour then mark with a horizontal line the 3rd bar.

Then stop goes below the low/high.

Mechanically on that it would be horrible butttt one thing I dont like doing is entering if the volume is for the first bars just crazy high as it could be a liquidity grab.

Hey thanks for the reply! Yes you're right, the S&P run sideways today. Exactly then when i was entered the trades. Gold as well.

Ye in my trades in the screenshot all was aligned. 15M nova signal line crossed zero level. EMA on 1Minute was pointing in trading direction. Background was colored. Entered at 3rd bar and so on.
Still that wasn't enough. I know nova works. It's my lack of having experience in reading the market. Anyway, if i look at the previous screenshots of you all guys, it looks so easy... "Wave goes up, they trade up, trend goes down, they trade down - no need to analyze the higher TF?". And so, I try the same, but the result ist not the same .

Today S&P trended on London which was expected as tomorrow is FOMC. Futures tend to stall on RTH (Regular Trading Hours) day before FOMC. And in fact it has been like this whole week for S&P. I trade mainly ES, but im buying metal data for the next week. Will be fun to see nova on metals Gold and Silver. This whole week we have seen 3x less volume than usually on ES and NQ so not really ideal for any type of trading.

I back-tested this strat as much as I could on ES and NQ and I couldn't get it to pay for the costs over 6-years. I think discretionary trading is the only way with the strat, which is a shame as I thought it looked promising for an algo.

I literally have had no problems with ES, NQ i dont trade as the candles tends to chops more before they close than in ES. At start i had problems with Forex pairs like EURUSD USDJPY etc. but after a while even that was not problem. This is trend trading strategy. Accumulations and Distributions will get you out. Those can be traded with volume profile or just by knowing its ranging and selling extreme highs and buying extreme lows. But this strat is not for it.

Will post example of Overnight session that we had so far.

On picture number 1: 15min timeframe you can see how Nova Signal line crossed 0 Mark.
On picture number 2: I marked 15min candle close, where after that close you start to watch for setups. For every single trade price have made structure break (SB) all those structure breaks has been marked as numbers from 1 to 5 and after Structure break you can see a trade happen.

EDIT: And to not get in after "wrong" structure break. I watch structure breaks on 5min TF (added picture number 3 of these breaks) You can see there is Swing Low before every structure break better. This way it minimizes a risk for me to mark "wrong" high or low as structure point.

not doubting you can trade this, it's just that when I tried to make it a mechanical strategy (automated) the numbers didn't play out over 6-years. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't take, but telling a computer that is quite hard

Very well explained, number 1 reason why this can't be automated is because the market constantly changes and you need that context which a bot doesn't have unless it's AI and very very well optimised but even then I just feel like going manual is the way forward because once you're profitable you won't ever lose that skill and it's amazing to achieve. Arguably the hardest job known to mankind (if wanting to be free)

You definitely know how to use Nova which is great now as it has taken a while for people to see that it does work and decide to persevere with their market understanding knowing that at some stage Nova will play a part.

It doesn't have to be Nova but for me volume, liquidity and market structure IS the market so Nova is a key component.

Have a look on your charts for when price sweeps and reverses, you'll see the divergence on nova showing that when price approached key liquidity there was a tonne of volume and when price sweeps it you'll see nova bearish bars seem almost non existant. It's a great tool for that and excellent when the trend forms so if you only lose a couple times at reversal then you'll back the losses + more when the trend begins after LTF aligns with HTF.

Price broke yesterdays low and restested it

I'm showing all of the trades BUT not saying you must take them all... this is the result if you did so far.

This system is a prop firm killer if too many of us use it.

Unlike other strategies that say take only 2R and be done for the day it's just not going to be sustainable for prop firms to pay out all the time to people doubling their accounts

I did plan on trying to connect 5 x 200k accounts and see how it goes lol

Amazing that you're sharing the same pair of glasses as me... you're one step further to full confidence.

Not seen Tradernoname today, would be interesting to see if he traded and how many R's hes up this week aha

Hi there. Been reading on and off for some time. Had the chance to just sit and watch it play out. Took two of the trades.
Although there were more entries according to Nova, this is one way it could have gone. 9R.
Vertical lines are m15 signal line cross. Horizontal is previous day high and daily open.
Easy enough to pause going long after hitting PDH.
Only one short cause it really took off, and I would have preferred a bigger pullback. Also going into London lunchtime.
Then a couple more long before the cleaning crew swept up the scene.
Thanks, xkwisit2001. Your (and other's) continuing contributions are very much appreciated.
Going to watch more when I can.

So far i have taken only one trade on ES, I did mark up one in Silver for a practise as im going to buy that metal data for AMP.

For silver i just posted the picture of the trade that i marked.

Same story continues.

Image 1: Waited that we get signal cross. But did actually want to see SB downwards to happen.
Image 2: SB has happened and lower high have been created. Then waited patienly to signal line cross below 0 and took trade.

Aha never seen you here before... welcome aboard!

Even though you've been in and out of it you have definitely got the analysis down very well.

You see that PDH raided and then if you notice price was rejecting back off the PDH & imbalance (top right of your chart before the drop) which could also be your big RR entry if trading the reversal pattern. You could take a sell when theres a red candle that closed below PDH the with stop above the high.

But that's just what I do.

For nova, it would be very difficult to trade after so as you said.... trade to key liquidity and then wait and see what happens.

You're always welcome here

Even more sound analysis going on here. This week has been weird lol

Everyones coming out and looking extemely competent with Nova aha.

That trade you took was textbook because you waited for that break of structure, EMA's already flipped and you entered the signal after the pullback to the EMA's.

You could have entered the signal just before your entry but it wouldn't have made any difference really.

That is a perfect trade.

Keep em coming because at this rate we'll all be at a stage where we can target prop firms and take all their profits away

Now let me show you something interesting...

As price was below PDH the next logical destination would be to target and old previous day low.

I'm not saying price WILL reverse from here but as you can see it has managed to arrive at that old PDL and you can see how the volume was highest approaching that old PDL. Ive marked with arrows:

Look at the volume during the whole day and then look at that volume oh.. and FAST TP for that position. It was MASSIVE.

So now this could be where you buckle up for price to potentially stall and then turn.

For now we just wait and see if theres any structure breaks and if we get EMA flip bullish we can be confident taking nova signals simply because we know we just came from key liquidity.

Edit: This is just what to look for next... you can see the volume divergence too... price was lower than the push towards the old PDL because the market buy orders would have absorbed the sellers.

Sellers are now trapped waiting to break even LOL

Yes, There were more confluences like trapped traders. that i didint see yet in previous signal. So that why i waited. Nova is extremely great tool and can benefit many type of traders.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have learned a bit about the finer concepts you're talking about.
In looking to get familiar with Nova, it was easy to stick to the rules and focus on that only.
Couple more. Just watching and seeing the potential. Up to 13R.

See if we get a structure break and then reaction off that imbalance we can start seeing if price will turn here.

If it does then Nova knows the drill

BUT we have not had any structure breaks yet.

If we do then we will need to wait for any imbalances that creates a structure break to see the footprints.

If not, we continue selling to next liquidity zones.

You see on your chart how the SELL volume is disappearing lol

This is where I wouldn't take anymore sells just yet having hit the old PDL.

But yes you'll find over time that Nova is essential - it does many things but I just always have to have it on any chart I use.

EDIT: Ignore me... I didnt realise you were trading EURUSD haha... BUT your sell volume has still disappeared.
